Hello,
how can I get info if my ROM supports extX partition on SD Card? I'd like use ext3/4 partition on sd for installing apps etc. I've default ROM in HTC WFS (Android 2.3.3). Because now, I can't find anything in my phone about existing ext4 partition (about 700MB) on SDCard... Also, I've linux-swap partition
Refreshing...
Maybe I should ask other quesion: which ROMs for HTC WFS supports ext partitions on SD card?
try this

Hello Everyone.
In this post, I would like to show how to mount Internal SD card and External SD card when using Cyanogenmod 7 ROM.
I had some issues because CM7 mounts the internal SD card under /mnt/emmc and mounts external SD card under /mnt/sdcard.
As you know, there are many applications that download data using /mnt/sdcard as path and if you have CM7 way of mounting these apps won't work.
So to mount Internal SD card to /mnt/sdcard and External SD card to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as it is done on Stock ROMs proceed with the following:
1 - Open the file /etc/vold.fstab with your preferred text editor (I use root Explorer) and find and modify the last lines as below an then save:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2
# otg sdcard
usb_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/usbStorage auto /devices/platform/msm_hsusb_host.0
#end line
2 - Open the file /system/build.prop with your preferred text editor and find and modify the following lines as it is show an then save:
# notify vold we have internal and external sd
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard/external_sd,/mnt/sdcard
3 - Reboot the phone and voilá
This procedure worked for me and I have no issues to mount both my Internal and External SD cards when plugging the phone on my laptop.
a good guide indeed for the CM7 ROM users
I did something similar for all my Gameloft games, EA games, Glu games, and DATA partition, and Download, and all the other stuff, basically i mounted everything off to my 64 GB SD card instead of internal SD
lets give this topic some flight time, stuck for a month, it'll come off by itself
also added to main INDEX
Thanks AllGamer...
thanks, i was looking for something like this for a while.
Thanks so much for this. Thanks a bunch!!!
ICS
Can someone who had flashed ICS Alpha builds tell us if this procedure works on them?
Thanks and I am glad I'd helped someone by doing this post
Testing this out right now on Isotope, let's all keep our fingers crossed.

does it work for other devices cm7 roms??
tried it and didn't work for me. Might have typed it wrong. Will try again.
I only used the file browser to see if i can access both the emmc and the sd card but could only get to the emmc
I will try...

Oh man, thank you!
This worked like a charm on my Epic Touch 4G.
tried this in a aokp rom(hydrogen), and it doesn't work.
Why not mount the emmc to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd in addition to /mnt/eemc for backward compatibility?
Does it work on CM9 too?
I had ICS Passion v13 installed on my Samsung Vibrant before, and my vold.fstab file is a bit different from cm7's. I now have cm7 installed but the vold.fstab file doesn't seem to have changed with the change of roms.
It would be great if you could post the fstab and build.prop files somewhere online from where I can download it and replace in my phone because I don't want to mess up again(I encountered the "encryption failed" bug in ICS today and I tore my hair out fixing that..so yeah.)
Thank you.
Anyone else that's on AOKP have any luck getting this to work??? The flip-flooped SD cards on CM9/AOKP is seriously annoying..

This is the vold.fstab file in my Samsung Vibrant:

# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
As you can see, it is differs from the one you posted in the guide. What steps should I take now?
Can anyone show me how to do this with captivate cm7?
Please and thanks!

has anyone found a solution for AOKP yet? I find that many of my apps such as google music and my camera don't save files properly. This has caused me to switch back to juggernaut.
major thanks to anyone who can help!
I want to partition sd card so i can have more internal storage for apps, cause now i only have 24 mb free.. I'm also thinking about flashing Sandvold ICS rom, so do i have to partition sd for that in some other way, or the same way as for more space for apps?
I have s-off(revolutionary) with Recovery-RA_2.0.1.
Flash 4ext recovery and partition your sd card.
Check my sig.

I am running aokp jb milestone 1 on a Samsung Galaxy s2 (T-Mobile) and ran into a problem with downloading apps. The Play Store said that there was "Insufficient storage available" when i had 10 gb of storage left that i knew of. This led me to the storage section of the settings where i found that it was partitioned. One part for apps and the other part for almost everything else. I wanted to know if there was a way to change the sizes of the partitions or merge them completely. I found a temporary fix with this app called app2sd which can move apps between the partitions, but that's just an annoyance.
Also, just as a side question, why are some apps in the bigger partition and some in the smaller? Shouldn't they all be in the smaller one allocated for apps?
Thanks in advance

How about just switching your internal for your external sd? Once you edit your voldfstab file in system/etc you will have your external as your internal and can install whatever files you want to it. So if you have a 32 gb card that will be your internal space once you make the switch.

All you need to do is change sdcard0 to sdcard1 where it says # internal sdcard
and change sdcard1 to sdcard0 where it says # external sdcard
Reboot and it will be switched. To return to normal just change numbers back and reboot and it will be like it was before the switch
